They are all lovely but for me, Black Lady steals the show again with Bolshoi and Monumental as Close seconds. Actually wanted to order Bolshoi but then I saw it as a nursery and it was more pink. Seems there are two Bolshois - MEIruchka which you have and MEIzuzes which we get here!

The lavender is dreamy. I love all the colors.

Ooooh, Beth!

Ping. Black Lady it is. Drop dead gorgeous.

Beautiful Simsalabim! Helen.

I love Simsalabim! I suppose you are going to tell me I can't find it anywhere aren't you? Before I start looking, how do the blooms hold up during high heat. Do they hold their color or do they go all orange and red. So many of my roses either turn red in the heat if there is any red already in them or they get pale and washed out looking.

Beth SIMSALABIM fades a bit as it ages. Turns kinda cream with burgundy. Doesn't really mind the heat tho. Unfortunately the blooms are like ABRACADABRA, quite small. They haven't gotten any bigger than about 2 1/2".

Here's a bloom that's several days old.

Oh and yes, unfortunately it's a rose not available anywhere, really. It's a florist rose. If you can find a florist that can get it, you could try to root it. I'm actually trying to root some stems now, but the plant is small so I was only able to take a couple of cuttings. Not sure if they're going to take or not for a while. If these work, I will try to take more cuttings as the plant gets bigger.

Wow!! I love, love, love your Black Lady and S.E.A. of Love!!!! Oh my!!!! Love them all!!
